Horseback riding in Jacó combines three of Costa Rica’s landscapes in a single ride: rice-field trails, tropical forest paths and the sand of Jacó Beach, on the Pacific coast of Puntarenas province. For about 2 hours, you ride at a relaxed walking pace with a bilingual local guide, on gentle, well-trained horses used to first-time riders. Along the forest trails, keep an eye out for monkeys, sloths and tropical birds living in their natural habitat, before reaching the open views of the ocean.
Your experience begins at the meeting point in Jacó, where you meet your guide, share your riding experience and get fitted with your equipment, including a helmet. After a safety briefing on how to hold the reins, sit comfortably and follow the guide’s instructions, you set off in single file along countryside trails beside the rice fields. The route then enters the forest, where your guide helps you along the path and points out the wildlife. You then ride along Jacó Beach for about 15 to 20 minutes, with a stop for photos and ocean views, before returning to the starting point at a comfortable pace.
No riding experience is needed: riders are matched with a horse suited to their level, and the ride stays at a walking pace, with no galloping or overtaking. Children from 2 years old ride with a parent on the same horse, and from 3 years old on their own horse led by a guide. A private ride is also available for those who prefer to explore Jacó on horseback with their own guide.
Horseback riding in Jacó runs every day, all year round, with four departures a day. Book your ride and discover Jacó Beach and its forest trails on horseback!
